1. During the early years of European settlement on a continent that was viewed as "wilderness" by the newcomer, [U]Native Americans, intimately knowing the ecology of the land, were a help in the rescuing of [/U] many Pilgrims and pioneers from hardship, or even death.
Correct Answer is as follows:
Native Americans, with their intimately knowledge of the ecology of the land, help to rescue
My question is: the word 'intimately' is an adv. and the word 'knowledge' is a noun., how can an adv. embelish a noun.?
2. Even though the state has spent ten years and seven million dollars planning a reservoir along the Ubi River, the project [U]will have to be abandoned as a result of the river becoming so heavily polluted.[/U]
Correct answer is as follows:
must be abandoned because the river has become so heavy polluted.
My question here is quite smilar to the aboved-mentioned one: why 'heavy', as an adj., can embelish an adj. "polluted"?
Thanks for your concern in advance.作者: zyh79 时间: 2002-10-15 23:56
